JOB DESCRIPTION:

Pursue a career in Controls/Automation Engineering, and do work that matters at Abbott.

Abbott's Diabetes Care business designs, develops and manufactures leading-edge glucose monitoring systems and test strips for use in both home and hospital settings. Our product portfolio includes Freestyle Libre, a recently launched system that is revolutionising how people with diabetes around the world monitor their glucose levels. We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people’s lives.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Control & Instrumentation Engineer to join our Development Engineering group.

Contributing to the research and investigation of technologies that may prove suitable for integration into future products and processes, your main responsibility will be to provide C&I Engineering expertise to a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers.

Whether you find yourself contributing to product development projects from initiation through to manufacture, designing control systems, sourcing and testing instrumentation to prove suitability for application, or characterising and optimising equipment, you will play a pivotal part in the R&D Engineering support provision.

To be successful, you will be qualified to HNC level or higher in an Electrical, Electronic or Control Engineering discipline. You will bring strong experience in PLC (Siemens S7), HMI, Motion Control, Vision Systems, Instrumentation and PID control systems, and additional skills in databases would be beneficial. Electronics and Electrical experience are advantageous; however, priority will be given to those with Controls/Programming knowledge and expertise.

You will be working in an R&D environment, so will need to be able to demonstrate a creative and innovative approach to problem solving.

As you’d expect from an innovative global healthcare company, we offer an excellent starting salary, and a competitive range of benefits including a defined contribution pension scheme, share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements.

An equal opportunity employer - Abbott welcomes and encourages diversity in our workforce.
